Has anyone used this for a garage? I have a 1-car garage/woodshop that I need to heat.

I use this in a 2-car garage and it heats relatively well. My garage is not insulated, so the area I work in is warm, and the entire garage gets relatively warmer. I turn it on only when I am working.

Lol, given it is a garage heater yes it works. It heats my 440 sq foot 2 car garage with ease it has insulation in the ceiling. However it requires a 240v 30 amp outlet. Should be ok with no insulation too. It will surprise you - should maintain 65-70 degrees on high with no insulation in temps to around 20. I usually keep it on half thermostat to take the chill off unless I'm working on a project, then I turn it way up and heats the 440 sq ft garage to 70-75 in about 10 minutes from 50. Will work just fine for your small room. Keep the thermostat on auto and desired temp if using constantly as this should help with your electric bill.

It is amazing for the garage. I have a two car garage, 22 feet by 20 feet and it can take the garage from about 48 degrees to 70 degrees in about 45 minutes. Afterward place it on automatic mode with the thermostat set to about 3/4 and it will keep the garage toasty enough to work in a tee shirt on just about any project. Hope this helps..........Bob

Assuming that it's a small 1 car garage, yes. Given the other responses to your question, I will echo all of those as well. It's a great heater for the money.

We bought one for the garage. We have a defective unit. It doesn't heat up like they said, puts out little heat. If you get one that doesn't work, have fun getting it replaced. We are still trying. $161 down the drain so far. They will only replace if you return it within 7 days. Then there is a 15% restock fee too. Didn't learn that till we tried to return it.

Tried it in my 20x20 garage and it didn't do the job. Air-n-water was very good about the return.

you need 220, ...I have a double stall garage with tall ceilings and it works great as long as its insulated!

I do not think you can expect this heater to heat an entire garage (if you are from a northern state), but it will create a nice warm "spot" if that is what you want.

Given its range and specs, it will most likely, in my opinion, heat a small part of the garage space. If you are working on your vehicle and directing it to your workspace, it will do an okay job.

It should work depending on how much heat you expect. I've got three of these and they tend to be a bit noisy which shouldn't be a problem in a garage.

This unit is only a supplement heater. Cannot be used to heat the same size area that it can cool. I mainly use to cool my basement shop when working on my Harley's in the Summertime. It is used in the Winter to make it possible that I can work down there in the Winter with a light Jacket on. I hope this has helped. Ken

I heat 900 square feet insulated garage in bitter cold northern Minnesota on the 1st setting. I have had to turn it up to 2nd setting for some people to be comfortable. Its a great heater very happy with it.

I do not recommend using this inside a garage, even with the garage door open, or any other enclosed space. Burning propane (or anything else including wood) emits carbon monoxide (CO) which is poisonous. You will want it several feet outside the garage to ensure the CO doesn't accumulate inside.

I got it last year for my garage. I did have an electrician install a 240 amp service and so far seems ok, I have not goon thru a full winter yet. Overall unit is made well and expect it to perform. Steve

I use it in a three car garage(720 sq ft) to take the chill off when I'm working out there. It works out quite well for me. I like it and myself I think it would heat a 20x13 room.

I would definitely not use this device for a single car garage. I attempted to use it on my 30 foot sailboat..just is not strong enough to make much difference. Try a convention a/c unit, if possible. Randy/Key West

I have the same size garage, and the HD60ASO111 Hot Dog does a real good job of heating with no problems with it since I purchased it about a year ago as a replacement for what it had. I had a 75,000 BTU unit in it before and I can't tell any difference.

It does not put out enough heat for a 2 car garage. I say don't buy it. The one I bought I melted the plug. I replaced the plug and that one melted too. The cord got hot to the touch so it went into the trash. It should be recalled as a fire hazzard.

Sure, but I think it would be a waste and it won't do squat to heat the garage. It is really only suitable for heating a very small enclosed area, like a small bathroom. If you are using it to keep you warm while at a work bench in the garage or something, it might work if you keep it a couple of feet from you. Overall, I'd suggest saving your money and buying another product.

Two car garage space of approximately 520 square feet. Works well in winter. Gets at or below freezing most nights here. Takes about one hour to heat shop/garage to sixty degrees.

I use it in a 24x28 garage. I do work in the garage in the winter and it will keep it at 70-75 degrees. I was usi9ng milk house heaters before and they kept burning out the thermostats . For me this heater works great. Lloyd Jones

We got this one for my husbands 2 car garage/shop and it works great . The doors arent insulated and theres cracks along the edges , so we were concerned that would be a problem but it hasnt it heats the room quick and nicely . I can't say whether its better then the others but were pretty happy with the performance of this one. Hope that helps

I would not try it. I burnt my first one 's heat element up using it in really cold weather though I had it in my garage at night.
